Violet Revolution

What woman doesn’t love jewelry?  It always fits (even if you’ve gained a few pounds), you can never have enough, and it always makes you feel special whether you get it as a gift or buy some for yourself.

That’s why Embellish is the perfect place for jewelry, whether you’re looking for something trendy or classic, fancy or casual, for yourself or someone else.  They even have accessories such as handbags, hair accessories, hats, belts, and even a section for the man in your life. 

Embellish features independent designers, both in Chicago and elsewhere, from more well known lines like K. Amato to up and coming designers like Morgan Bennett.  If you love vintage wear, Morgan’s headbands are handmade from vintage finds, so no two are alike.  (I actually couldn’t resist purchasing one for myself!)  Floral earrings by Metal Monk are also comprised of vintage pieces.  Designs range from a little more avant guarde like the geometric earrings and bracelet by Anne Marie Chagnon and puzzle piece and ruler bracelets by Defy; to more classic, timeless pieces like the seemingly dainty (but surprisingly sturdy) lattice wire bracelet by Stylish Girl and gold multi-wire hoop earrings from Rebecca Zemans.  Rebel Design’s leather rivet clutch and Sabina’s ribbed hobo are must-have staples for any woman.  Or try out a fun patterns, like the bangle bracelets made by Cynthia Gale with all kinds of materials such as sand, paint, and batik cloth; the turquoise circle wheel pattern bag by Tutela; or the locally designed quilted black and white floral tote.  (Click on image below to enlarge.)

There’s so much more to find inside…I could go on and on.  But the two absolute best reasons to add Embellish to your list of favorite boutiques in Chicago?  You won’t find these designs everywhere, and prices are quite reasonable for the amazing and unique treasures you’ll find to “embellish” your wardrobe.
